​Wonderful story, BiJanus. I enjoyed the construction, moving the reader back and forth between past and present. But the topic is timely considering where we are as a nation. Just proves that not all gay stories have to be soft and cuddly. Thanks.

A wonderful story, well told and informative. I particularly admired the way that the story is structured. It is so easy with this type of structure for the 'gimmick' to become more important than the story. BiJanus has show his skill in using the 'gimmick', in this case letters to the sister, to push the story forward. As a result we get a story that is told in two different timeframes at the same time. To do this successfully takes great skill. BiJanus has that skill and had done it successfully.

Absolutely first rate storytelling. It brought tears to my eyes. Leadership is what saves lives, leadership is earned by attitude and effort, and leadership is something we sorely need in the days ahead.

Absolutely first rate storytelling.

Indeed. I wasn't sure I liked the format, but it was so well done I just knuckled down and read the story.

I really liked this story, starting with the title. Straight and to the point. Well, maybe not straight, but you know what I mean.

Not sure I've ever read a story that so brilliantly captures the realities of military life, particularly in combat situations, and the impact on personal, professional, and family life. Your NCO's comment at the end says it all. Thank you, and Semper Fi.
